Hippo Software introduces a new Enterprise Architect workshop to teach delegates how to transfer data between Enterprise Architect and Microsoft Excel. Delegates learn to use CSV files and Visual Basic code to synchronise element properties. This allows data such as requirements to be manipulated both as a spreadsheet and as a structured graphical model.

 

  • Day 1 – Learn theory and apply it to a worked example based on a requirements spreadsheet
  • Day 2 – Trainer guided session to apply your new skills to your own project (optional)

 

The Hippo Software training catalogue provides details of our full range of training courses and workshops.

A flexible pricing strategy allows Hippo Software to provide highly competitive prices for on-site training courses and workshops throughout the UK and Europe, even for a small number of delegates.

This workshop teaches delegates how to create RTF templates in order to generate company documentation straight from Enterprise Architect. Creating document templates is an essential project task but also typically a specialised skill.

Tassc's consultant/trainer will guide delegates through all the key aspects and subtleties of RTF report generation in a highly practical 1-day workshop. This workshop can be extended to a second day to guide delegates in creating company specific document templates.

Tassc offers on-site workshops and training courses throughout the UK and Europe. Tassc is an authorised training partner for Sparx Systems Australia and provides formal training, consulting and hands-on mentoring in Enterprise Architect, UML, SysML and BPMN.

Tassc launches two new SysML training courses for Enterprise Architect users:
